I hope there are not any mistakes below, without any revision possible.
Okay no one answered, so with attention to detail let's give it a go.
Notice (1) First, every Pawn is not covered, which becomes a superficial
issue in other cvs.  (2) Only Wizard is colourbound, like regular-chess
Bishop. (3) Overby's ximeracak makes one appreciate Wizard and Champion as
pretty creative match-up, that get lost on the too-large Omega chessboard.
__________ (4) Shi Ji finds Champion and General can corner-mate General,
but does not that already work with Kings instead of Generals too? For
instance also both short-range Man alone and (Wazir+Dabbabah) are enough.
_______ (5) Pegasus' leg of Giraffe(1,4) is indeed poor because 'c1-d5'
forces decision whether to trade Pegasi right away. Any (x,4) leg is hard
to work right into only 8-deep, whatever file started on. I think Glenn
realizes that and did not get around to correcting it.  ________  (6) The
four piece-types go to mutually exclusive squares, the drawing shows. To
keep that concept, I think making Pegasus (Zebra+Tripper-3,3) might solve
everything, except the Pawn question of the last comment this week. That
Pegasus as (Z+3,3) becomes like 4 arrowheads, and they set off well with
Champion, whose footprint looks like the bow to those arrowheads.  That
change of Pegasus would be a subvariant with Overby's permission.
________________________
(7) Since deciding ximeracak's king should be general, the temptation is
also to offset by doing something with Pawns. What Overby adds to Pawn is
jazzy for effect, but better not strengthen Pawn that much here.  (By the
way, Overby likes to use *general* and *sergeant* here because he works for
the national usa Boy Scouts, 100 years old, and having their not completely
different ranks-concept as some military.) Actually, full-fledged Berolina
might be best of all with their so mobile files against the 4 leaper-types,
in further improved subvariant of 'x'. Since Berolina can exit two ways,
each moderate leaper then get lots of choices for even more of what
Aronson's comment calls ''fluidity'' of this cv become genre by
considering its variants. (8) Over-all, that becomes, if inventor Overby
should approve, ''Berolina Ximeracak with Arrowhead and original
ximeracak promotion rules.'' 
(9) Otherwise, Overby's enhancement of Pawn looks okay too, maybe without
the two-step.  The main need is to get rid of the reach four-up of Pegasus
in the Giraffe 1,4.  (10)  Finally, (0,3) omitted still seems right because
of Pawns' general forwardness -- kind of 'a Cannon and Rook
uglification' principle generalized. /// What else would be important to
discuss about ximeracak? Whole point is to promote new ideas and not leave
them unanswered because they are hard. Good luck.
